Significado

Purport

Parece ser que el sándalo (malayaja-candana) y el alcanfor se empleaban para adorar a la Deidad de Jagannātha. El alcanfor se empleaba para los āratis, y el sándalo, para ungir Su cuerpo. Ambos productos estaban bajo el control del gobierno; por esa razón, los devotos tuvieron que visitar a los funcionarios del gobierno. Informándoles de los detalles, recibieron permiso para sacar de Jagannātha Purī el sándalo y el alcanfor.

It appears that malayaja-candana (sandalwood) and camphor were used for the Jagannātha Deity. The camphor was used in His ārātrika, and the sandalwood was used to smear His body. Both these items were under government control; therefore the devotees had to meet with the government officials. Informing them of all the details, they attained permission to take the sandalwood and camphor outside Jagannātha Purī.
